Apparently, flies have no difficulty flying (swimming?) under magma if there is a body there. Just fond that out when a miner got pulled under the lava by a fire imp. The miner proceeded to kill the imp, then die. The fire imp corpse stayed around and flies started buzzing(swimming?) around it. Flies are awesome.

When it's raining, and you pick up some soil, it flushes away. I discovered this while trying to train my throwing. I never had anything to throw.

I just noticed that enabling your domestic animals to be trained (besides the dogs, of the domestics, I only added trainablility to the camels and the muskoxen) enables you to buy war camels or hunting muskoxen on embark. They are very expensive though.

Too bad flying is way too powerful against melee fighters.   ;D
Why?

They can't attack you unless you want them to.   ;)

So I just found out, that you CAN actually fly in adventure mode, despite what the wiki says. Or what a person said the wiki says, I couldn't find the article.

You can alt-move in most directions if you have a flier tag.

There's a limit to how high you can go though, and it's different for every square "area" so you crash into invisible walls.

Is he wearing a cape and a suit with a big yellow "S" on it?

This is a Giant Cave Spider silk super-suit. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. The cloth is dyed blue with Dimple dye. On the item is an image of a letter S in Giant Cave Spider silk. The cloth is dyed red with Hide root dye.

I just recently ducked into a cave as a lone Human Pikeman, looking to slay a dragon for a quest. When I met the Dragon, I realized I was too injured, and retreated to recuperate. When I returned to the cave, I went to the spot where the Dragon was, only to find a pool of blood there... a few moments later, a few messages popped up saying that the Dragon had fainted, regained consciousness, and then fainted again. Confused, I continued to search for the Dragon, finding more blood, and several dead cave-dwellers all around. Shortly thereafter, a message came saying that the Dragon had bled to death.

I searched and searched the cave, to no avail, and decided to retire the adventurer to look into Legends to figure out what had happened. Apparently, another adventurer (a wandering Human Ranger) had entered the cave, confronted the Dragon, and slain it before I could!

What nerve... Still, I guess competitive dragon-slaying is bound to happen when the work for Heroes starts to get sparse!
